I’m sure we have at some point, but have we ever played Oklahoma in football?

I think that was pretty much a given from the beginning. Not exactly earth shattering news.

Never. State and South Carolina are the only two SEC teams that have never played OU.

I told my Sooner wife last week “Just think, in two years, when I say ‘OU has never beaten Mississippi State’, it won’t be because they’ve never played.”

I hope we get OK at home.
Get ready to hear that damn "Boomer Sooner" song ad nauseam. They average 66 times per game playing it according to an article I read on SB Nation or SDS. In a loss to Iowa St it was only 51 times. UTX is almost as bad w/ "Texas Fight" that they play and there's always Rocky Top......

Crazy we have never played them. I wouldn’t be shocked if both us and South Carolina get Oklahoma since neither have played them before.

I have family that live in Oklahoma City, they are all Oklahoma state fans though. I’ve been to one game in Norman when I was younger. It’s a great college town.

I agree. I went to Bedlam last year and had a great time.

Here is OU's record vs all of the SEC teams:

Suspect a sell out with 60K cowbells getting louder every time they play. They are the ones who need to get ready.

I’m going out on a limb to say we will play them both on the road before they come to Starkville.
I suspect we will move the AZ State game in order to play and that game is a road game. You probably right exspecially when you look back that we went on the road to play A&M back to back when they joined.

My wild prediction - we don't play Alabama in 2024. It's a reprieve as they will be one of our permanents when we go to the 3-6 model.

at LSU
at Ole Miss
at Kentucky
at Missouri

Arkansas
Oklahoma
Auburn
Vanderbilt

I thought that was the teams record versus Ok and was shocked at that Missouri line then looked it up and saw that’s Ok’s record vs SEC teams.

There is a rumor circulating this morning that we will play Oklahoma in Norman next year and won’t play Texas yet.

seems like Arkansas would have played them longer since they were in the old Southwest Conference together.

Worst fight song in college athletics. Followed closely by Rocky top

The Sooners were only in the Southwest Conference from 1915 - 1919.

I stand corrected. I said 'never', but I guess I tend to think of the SWC as the "Texas schools + Arkansas" era.

Also interesting that they (along with Oklahoma A&M/St) went from the SWC to the Missouri Valley Conference. I never knew they were members there. In fact, I was kind of surprised at the list of MVC former members. If they could have kept these teams in the boat, they could have had a really strong conference:

University of Cincinnati
University of Houston
University of Iowa
Iowa State College
University of Kansas
Kansas State College
University of Louisville
Memphis State University
University of Missouri
University of Nebraska
New Mexico State University
North Texas State University
University of Oklahoma
Oklahoma A&M College
University of Tulsa
Wichita State University

Yeah, both the Missouri Valley and the Southern had schools that created the Big Eight (which dissolved to form the Big 12), Southeastern, and Atlantic Coast conferences.

It is THE WORST fight song in college football, and that says a lot right there. It's the only song the band knows, too.

Since rumors are encouraged: I’ve heard that we don’t play Bama in 2024 but swap them for a game at Georgia.

I hope my source is wrong because that would suck. I’d almost rather play Bama again.

GA at TX and Bama at OK. Bama will play “traditional rivals Auburn, Tennessee & LSU.” Per ESPN.

I believe it. I expect us to get royally screwed after Saban bitched about us being dropped as a permanent opponent. Hell, I would want to keep a team I had beaten 80% of the time in the last century.
